So, I got an idea to write a story set in modern times about the Ten Plagues of Egypt from the Bible. I admit, I had to use Google to refresh my memory on this, and I found several different lists, some with seven plagues and some with ten. The ten I want to use, along with some names I came up with, are: water to blood (Kendra), frogs (Amy), bugs (Ian), wild animals (Noah), pestilence (Samantha), boils/open sores (Ron), severe hailstorm (Frey), locusts (Laura), darkness (Orli), and the death of the first-born (Dameon). The names are only suggestions.

Anyway, each character will have a supernatural ability that reflects the plague they represent. Amy, Ian, and Noah will summon their respective animals; Laura will turn into a swarm of locusts; Kendra will turn water into blood; Samantha will give basic telepathic commands; Ron will give people boils, open sores, and other skin conditions with a touch; Frey will control weather; Orli will control light; and Dameon will control the flow of life, either absorbing, giving, or transferring it. Other than that, whoever decides to write for each character can do whatever with them.

As for the actual plot, I'm thinking they can all receive a message from God telling them that they've been summoned to use their powers. I'm not entirely sure where it'll go from there yet, so if you have any suggestions, please leave them below. Oh, and I call dibs on Orli. :)
